hi capt, i hope im not rocking the boat, im one who ask a lot of questions.im doing research now on the blanks you recomended,i like to have options.as the reelseat maybe i should have said i dont like a fixed reelseat.if measured from arm pit to fore finger, it is " how shall i say it" is cumbersome?i usually tape my reelseat on.i plan on going to tackle shop and try to handle these rods.and feel it.no jokes pease.the one i would get fist is the beach rod cause thats what i do mostly.i like all rods to be 1 piece, and lightwieght.i dont care on looks i just like the most bang for my bucks $$.this is strictly spinning .thanks again and i hope im not being a pain in the butt.dennis.
